However, the amended court documents add a claim that Kirk Weddle took more photos of Elden following the iconic photoshoot, styled as Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Spencer Elden originally filed the lawsuit - against surviving members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, the managers of Cobain’s estate, Cobain’s former wife Courtney Love, and the album cover photographer Kirk Weddle - in a Los Angeles court on August 24, alleging that the image of an underwater naked baby constituted child pornography and sexual exploitation.Īmid the ongoing dispute, his lawyer, Robert Lewis, has now filed an amended suit (obtained by Digital Music News) maintaining the original claims that the defendants “failed to take reasonable steps to protect Spencer and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking”. The 30-year-old man (and former baby) who appeared on Nirvana’s Nevermind album cover has amended his lawsuit against the band, including new details about Kurt Cobain’s alleged vision for the artwork.
